How Tre Scaled to 60 Roles in Three Months with Structured Hiring

The challenge: switching providers at speed and scale

Tre is one of Sweden's major telecommunications companies, serving millions of customers across mobile, broadband, and enterprise services.

Their TA team hires at high volume. Roughly one new role per day. When they decided to switch assessment provider, the question was speed: could the transition happen fast enough to avoid disrupting a pipeline that never stops?

Their previous setup was experienced as cluttered and difficult to work with: too much text, too many separate platforms, and test design that didn't fully resonate with candidates or reflect a user-friendly experience. For a team hiring at Tre's pace, that friction added up fast.

Structured onboarding, everything in one place

Alva Labs delivered an intensive, structured onboarding programme. Operational kick-off in the first two weeks. Deep-dive sessions over the next six to eight weeks. Three-month follow-up.

Training covered test interpretation, candidate feedback, AI summaries, the Leadership Report, and structured interviews. The team built personality profiles for their most common roles, including a deliberate decision to use the "Leader" profile for Store Manager positions. That redefined success criteria: leadership capability over sales performance. A strategic shift enabled by having the right framework in place.

Everything consolidated into one product. AI summaries, personality profiles, Leadership Report, structured interviews, and ATS integration with Jobylon.

 

What stands out is how easy Alva Labs is to use both for our TA team and for candidates. The real 'aha' has been the interview insights and AI summaries, giving hiring managers a completely new, data-driven decision foundation.

What changed in practice

Speed of adoption

Operational within weeks. Over 60 roles launched in the first three months. Fast, broad uptake across the entire TA team.

Hours saved per hire

AI-powered summaries and Role Fit scores save several hours per hire. Faster, more structured screening and decision-making.

Better decisions

Hiring managers now have a clear, data-driven view of each candidate. A shared decision foundation between TA and hiring managers. Less gut feeling.

Improved candidate experience

Feedback from candidates has been positive. A direct improvement that matters for Tre's employer brand.

Recruiter experience

All material in one place. Work is more condensed and easier to navigate. The structured onboarding was specifically praised for its clarity.

 

It saves us several hours per hire, but more importantly, it improves the quality, consistency and confidence of our decisions. Overall, this has enabled us to move from intuition-based hiring to a more structured, data-driven approach.

The takeaway

A successful vendor switch isn't just about speed. It's about enabling better decisions from day one. With structured onboarding and the right tools, teams can scale quickly while improving quality, consistency, and candidate experience at the same time.
